Dakshina, a peculiar little gift

A gift. Dakshina is a thousand different things but mostly, a gift or offering. This picture is quite simple, a minute little gift box. To have my name is like a gift... I wish. My name is not that complicated if you really think of it, its three syllables, DAK-SHI-NA (dahk-shee-nah) A complex name with a simple meaning, simple difficulty...my name is an oxymoron. (: I really like this picture because it has an element of truth to it. A gift is usually thought of as something great, a wonderful present, a fabulous reward and yet...its so simple. This is a black and white gift box, no designs, just a ribbon. It reminds me of a sort of Think-Actual oxymoron. Contradictions. That's it. My name is based on contradictions, Dakshina is open-minded yet she likes her ideas better, she is a fantastic listener but she talks a load. This picture is perfect for who I am AND who my name represents. It's quite funny if you think of it in a way that, my name is sort of like Pandora, it is a gift and offering and if you open it out comes evil and a glimmer of hope. hahaha... Dakshina is a name that quite fits me because...well...I'm quite full of contradictions, whether good, bad or just plain hilarious, this is who I am and who I've always wanted to be.
